This is a list of the horse breeds usually considered to be native to Indonesia. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Some may have complex or obscure histories, so inclusion here does not necessarily imply that a breed is predominantly or exclusively Indonesian.
The Lombok (Indonesian: Kuda lombok) is a breed of horse found on the island of Lombok, Indonesia. Probably of Mongolian origin, this pony is influenced by horses from neighboring islands, notably Java , and is itself regularly exported to other Indonesian islands.
Horses were introduced to Java in unknown date, they are descended from Tibetan or Mongol-type horses. [6]: 39 It is possible that ancient stocks were brought to Indonesia by the Chinese Tang dynasty in the 7th century, recorded as being given to Dja-va (Kalingga kingdom), Dva-ha-la, and Dva-pa-tan (Bali).
The Sumbawa Pony (Indonesian: kuda-Sumbawa) is a pony breed, named after the island on which they are bred, Sumbawa Island in Indonesia. This breed is very similar to the Sumba or Sandalwood Pony, a breed also developed in these islands, which came from crossing the native ponies on horses of Arabian breeding. [1]

The horse (Equus ferus caballus) [2] [3] is a domesticated, one-toed, hoofed mammal. It belongs to the taxonomic family Equidae and is one of two extant subspecies of Equus ferus. The horse has evolved over the past 45 to 55 million years from a small multi-toed creature, Eohippus, into the large, single-toed animal of today.
In addition to the Mongolian horse, it is known that some Indian stock were taken to Indonesia (although it is unknown exactly which breeds), [1] and the Dutch also brought various eastern breeds to the country during the 18th century. Therefore, the Bali pony likely has been influenced by both the Mongolian horse, and various other eastern breeds.
